Yes.  In the Setup/Config screen, select the enable-8bit-nntp-posting
feature.

Hi -

You don't mention which version of Pine or which platform it is on (UNIX
or PC).  In this case the latter is probably irrelevant, but as long as
you are using Pine 3.95 you should try taking a look in the Setup
Configuration screen (S then C at the Main Menu) for the variable:

	enable-8bit-nntp-posting

If you put your cursor on this and ask Pine for the builtin-help about it
(type a "?") I think you may find it useful to you.  :-)

Cheers,
